T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS L. KING, of the city and county ofWorcester, and Commonwealth of Massa-- chnsetts, have invented a new anduseful instrument o1 machine ea-lled the Eggntter and I do herebydechire that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofIthe construction of` the same, reference being had to the drawingsannexed, which make a part of this specification, and which is aperspective View ci the same.

Figure 1 shotvs the machine coi'nplete, placed in a vessel ready foruse.

Figure 2 shows the cutter-shafts and cutters.

lFiure 3 showsn top vien` of the same.

The framework a a a a a sets in Athe vessel, and supports and holds inposition the gearing and cuttershafts. The cutter-shafts B B areproperly secured in theyi'rame. At the top the gears C C are zittached,which connect with the gear D. The side gear with cI-.ank connects withthe gear D, and furnishes the propelling power. The cutters F F arema'de of any thin, flat pieces of metal, so as'to afford the leastpossible resistance when in motion, and are securely soldered int-oslots sawed into the slxai'ts B B. The cutter-shafts, as shown in fig.2, are Aset near together, and in such. a manner that `ivhen inmotionthe cutters pass between each other. The two currents (if any werecreated) would be antagonistic, 4and both of equa-l y power; the eggmust therefore remain almost motionless while the cutters pass through,and the egg is cut into a fluid ready for use almost instantly. t l

The motionand operation of the machine will he readily understood bycomparing figs. 1, 2, and 3 in the draw-fing. Qne or two morecutter-shafts mightbe added to wol-'lc within eachother substantially asthose heroin described.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,isi l rEhe combination of Atwo or more cutter-shafts B, having cutters Eattached, with the geztring C D E, arranged and operating essentially asset forth. I

FRANCIS L. KING.
